I was here for the first time . It's a very huge shop and they have so many different items to choose from . Arts, paintings, jewelries, scarves, lights, candles, different handicrafts, handbags, etc , If you want to buy a gift for a family or friend , this is the place . The customer service is not good at all though. I went there on Thursday 10/19/2023 around 4:30 pm . The employees (2 women) don't even acknowledge your presence. I said hi , no one answered. When I wanted to leave I said thank you , no one answered. Too bad , this nice store deserves better customer service . read more

Great gift shop with wonderful service. Came here during First Fridays while visiting from out of town and spent a boat load buying locally crafted goods, funky items, and exploring the many wonders. A great place for gifts for others and yourself. I treated myself to a Krampus! read more

I really enjoyed this cute little gallery and gift shop! It's nestled right in the heart of Old Town Square and offers a unique selection of handmade gifts and souvenirs. I always try to purchase a few unique souvenirs along with at least one refrigerator magnet when I'm traveling somewhere, and Many Hands had a great assortment of both. There is no photography allowed in the store to protect the privacy of the individual artists. They sell handcrafted jewelry, clothing, and artwork here. The store associate was extremely hospitable and very fun to chat with! We chatted about the Bay Area and the origin of many of the gifts in the shop. Most of the inventory is produced by local artists. I love supporting local businesses that also support their own local counterparts. If you're looking for unique gifts or fun Eureka souvenirs, you should stop by Many Hands Gallery. read more

Great niche store with a hippy vibe. They have lots of figurines and statues, lamps, and a whole bunch of cool stuff. Expensive but you get what you pay for! read more

shitty customer service, too bad. they have some pretty cute things but the employees are rude. I tried to give this place another shot and was not surprised at the lack of customer service. Safe to say I left without purchasing. If you're looking for gifts this season, there are cuter (and nicer) shops all around town ! read more

Loved this store! Huge variety of options and gifts for almost anyone. They had some beautiful pieces. If I hadn't simply been passing through I definitely would have bought more. I had no issues with the service. The women behind the counter was perfectly friendly. It's absolutely worth checking out. read more

I really love the staff here, thank you for everything over the years. Many Hands Gallery is a favorite spot for gifts, candles + incense, silk scarves + umbrellas for the cold months, some of the best jewelry in town, and local art. all their local and cultural artworks have a story that go with them. I really appreciate that they are safe and accessible during the pandemic, implementing safety precautions by requiring masks of both staff + customers, cleaning impeccably, and offering curbside pickup for anyone not shopping inside, as well as updating the website for online ordering - check it out! manyhandsgallery.net read more

Many Hands Gallery - MANY HANDS GALLERY 2nd + F, old town Eureka CA - Art Galleries Near Me - Eureka, California

I was in old town Eureka doing some Christmas shopping (I know it's only September, if I don't start now it'll never get done it time) and happened upon this great store with so many wonderful items. I felt like I was buying wonderful quality items at very reasonable prices. The sales associate working this morning (9/19/22) was kind and willing to help open cases and wrap items for travel. I will definitely be returning! read more

We stopped in to checkout the local art. The man in the store was very helpful and wrapped up my children's gifts. There is pottery, jewelry, very cool lights and wind chimes, pretty textiles, etc. Plan to spend some time in their store. I would definitely return to see what new treasures I can find. Downtown Eureka. We had to wear a mask to be in the store. Policy may have changed since were were there; about a week again. read more

Last year my brother took the plunge and remarried. It was at this turning point that he and I decided that we would meet annually, half way between the central Oregon Coast and the Bay Area. So last year was our first annual visit in Eureka. While strolling around downtown, we found the Many Hands Gallery, located across from the plaza. Although there were 5 of us with a dizzying array of tastes and desires, we all managed to find something to look at. My bro and his new bride enjoyed the jewelry, I was captivated by the "Dios de los Muertos" magnets and trinkets, Honey Bunny was lost in the nautical section and Theresia D. just floated all over. Like Anna L. said, there are similar types of shops in the bay area, but this one had it's on particular charm. And the prices were reasonable. You can find a nice gift or momento for $5. read more

This place is Pretty! I wish it was open 24/7 or late at night because I wanna come here with my husband at 2am lol

A very nice shop in the heart of Old Town Eureka. Right on the corner and across from the water. It's a fun place to browse and find some unique gift items. Definitely worth a visit. I wouldn't call it a gallery,,, but why not they own it and get to call it whatever they like, lol. But they really do have a lot of local items and some that are made by local artisans. read more

Many Hands Gallery - Great building - Art Galleries Near Me - Eureka, California

Do not recommend shopping here unless you like being stalked. The girl didn't like my mask and asked me to put on her mask. I told her I had my own. Then she forced my son, who has autism to put her medical mask on cause she thought his was see through. She really shouldn't be in our faces! We are both vaccinated and don't appreciate people following us like a mask Na€i!! read more

Had a great experience here! Everything at the shop is really cool. I got a unique mug & postcard that I plan on mailing to my out-of-state family. The employee working there was really friendly and she even had stamps for the postcard. If you want to support local stores at this time definitely go here. read more

Many Hands has been a lifelong favorite spot for gifts (though often for myself) from Humboldt and all around the world. I can remember picking up new rings here in my teenage years, then started stopping in more often over the years for home decor, jewelry and the best selection of umbrellas around. (They've spoiled me on umbrellas...) I still find new things to love every time I get to visit, especially the local art and jewelry selection. Just realized that even from a couple of states away during a "quarantine," I still have the option to shop online! Definitely recommend checking them out and supporting their amazing local/international artists. read more

I just wanted to thank the staff at many hands gallery so much for how careful they are being during these times. I moved away from Humboldt a couple of years ago but I visit often and the most vulnerable members of my family still live there. I worry about my folks when they're out in the community and it warms my heart to hear how seriously the staff at many hands is taking this. It can't be easy to be on the front lines working with the public everyday and I'm so glad they're going the extra mile to keep everyone safe. Thank you for insisting on masks. Thank you for being a such a valued asset to our community. read more

Even though I could find similar places like this in SF or around the bay area, I thought this place was cute and had lots of knick knacks for your paddy wacks. Not sure where that came from, but let's go with the flow.... Like Roger W stated in his review, there are lots of items of a spirituatl nature, which is sorta my cup of tea, so, I loved browsing around. The owner had local items which is a nice touch, especially when you want to make sure you are buying something unique if you are from out of town. There was a beautiful necklace pendant(?) of an elaborate tree formed from different pieces of of intriquite curved silver wires. It was gorgeous and I would have bought it if it wasn't $125 bucks! However, I do believe it was worth that much for the work that was put into it, but not in my budget at this time. boohoo. They had plenty more affordable pieces though. I ironically left with some local soy candles that smelled great. They had some fun/unique scents such as Monkey Farts (which was actually nice, believe it or not), Pear Berry, Old Fashioned Apple Pie, Orange Danish, Pineapple Mango, Desire, Rain Forest. I love soy candles because they usually smell much more fragrant than wax. OH, and the plus was that the candles were made by a company that supports disabled (or differently abled) workers! Being the Social Worker I am, I had to get them! read more

Many Hands Gallery is a gem in the downtown area of Eureka. The store has a ton of local products, dishes made from wood, handmade jewelry, soy candles from a local work program, you name it. There's a ton of neat stuff to look at too, they had a huge range of old black and white pictures that was really neat. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the area. read more

Awesome selection of stuff you can give for gifts. Has something for everyone. Very friendly and helpful staff. We love this store.. Too many positives to list. Leave small kids at home, too many fragile gifts. My four year old loves this store, but she is a good listener. read more

First discovered this little gem during a roadtrip up the CA coast. Beautiful pieces, unique artwork, and just a fantastic little experience. Bobby was extremely friendly, and I found a hand made mug that was absolutely gorgeous, and I've used every day since. Until... tragedy! My boyfriend dropped the lovely keepsake, and it shattered as only truly beautiful things can do. As I swept up the remains of my lovely mug, my boyfriend snuck outside and called the store, where Bobby was working again. She was helpful and sweet, and even sent pictures of the mugs she had so we could pick out the ones that looked most similar to the one that broke (they're all unique, as they're hand made). The new mugs arrived this morning, and they're so beautiful, it was almost worth breaking that first keepsake. Many thanks to both Bobby and the original pottery maker for their work and customer service. This place is not to be missed! read more

This is a find in historic Eureka if you are into handcrafted, artisan craftworks. There were many items there of a spiritual nature, wikka, Christian, etc with many of the usual burlwood, glasswork and turquoise you would expect to be there. Astra the manager was especially helpful in getting a delicate selection wrapped and boxed even though there was a street fair going on outside the store and there were plenty of customers. Its work a drop by if you are in Eureka. read more

This store had SO MUCH stuff I wanted, and in lots of good price ranges. I got some good cards and postcards, a really cool $12 beetle necklace, and a beautiful $40 mermaid stained glass window hang. I could have stayed much longer. They have candles, incense, high-end art, little eccentric items of all kinds, and tons more. I highly recommend it! read more

Many Hands Gallery - I got this gem at Many Hands, and wanted the other hair colors too! - Art Galleries Near Me - Eureka, California

About a month ago my wife and I went into this store.We couldn't believe how the owner was talking to her customers. A women asked her about a piece of jewelry and she was so rude to this lady who did nothing but ask to see the item from the case. And this wasn't the first time last year she was rude to a women that the women just walked out not purchasing anything the owner ran outside screaming at her. What kind of business owner talks their customers like this? My wife and I walked out. I would give her a 0!!!!!!! read more

Old owners retired. New owners don't seem to have the same fine eye for cool and awesome art that Lynell and Phil did. Bummer read more

This place is pretty cool, if a little pricey. They have some neat replica nautical equipment like sextants, telescopes, etc. Lots of other random stuff. read more

Not very polite salesperson. Your stuff is mostly memes copied from internet so asking customers not to take pictures is not very nice and friendly. read more

Very cool unique shop. Great spot for interesting gifts and jewelry. Staff is always friendly, helpful, and SUPER knowledgeable about the products. read more

I know the owner of this place,Phil, as he is my neighbor. This is such a great place, it's like an art gallery and gift shop in one. There are nick knacks but lots of nice things too. Very artsy and local crafts too. The prices are good for what they have to offer. It is located right across from the Gazebo in old town Eureka. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area. They love to help tourists and are proud of what they sell and proud to offer you any assistance with places to see in the area. read more

Cute store full of cute touristy items. I enjoy nautical and sea themed items and they had plenty. We picked up some shells and other sea related merchandise for our house. They also have a ton of other random items, picture prints, magnets, knick knacks, etc. The staff was very friendly also. read more

We love Many Hands. We've gotten many a Christmas and birthday present here, from Huichol beaded figurines to beautiful Kütahya ceramics from Turkey. Last Christmas we got everyone a Turkish nazarlik (a blue glass evil-eye pendant) as a stocking stuffer. Many Hands tries to buy ethically on fair-trade principles, often dealing directly with craftsman's cooperatives. A great place to stop in and browse, and if you need to buy a gift, it's full of great ideas. One of Old Town Eureka's cooler shops. read more

Many Hands Gallery us filled with magical odds and ends from all over the place! Many locally made items as well as items from abroad! Lunel and Phil run a tidy ship and their selection is remarkable, beautiful, and playful! read more

I love this place. All kinds of cool things for all tastes. I saw the mother and child statuettes and wanted one with three children. They ordered it for me and contacted me as soon as it came in. I have found all sorts of fun things from large marbles that served as eyes in a dragon sculpture to a fun little birdie chip toy, gorgeous unique jewelry to leather-bound journals. It is a must see to truly understand what they have. Keep an eye on their Facebook page, they post something every day with in depth information about it. Very informative and interesting. Love this place! read more

Although I don't live in Humboldt County any longer, I have purchased items from Many Hands Gallery many times. Great selection and courteous service. read more

This cute little store is amazing and I am just like why I haven't gone there sooner? When I am around old town, I always see this shop. One day, I wanted to go inside the place, so I did. I was instantly hit with, why I haven't gone inside sooner, this is amazing. They have things from around the world and things that are made locally. The one thing that I was amazed by that place was the nesting dolls they sell! I been looking for them all over the place, and I was finally able to see them. They are sooo beautiful and pretty!! The artists that make them is very talented indeed. So if you are looking for babuskha dolls, matryoshka, or nesting dolls. This is the place to find them. One thing I love about this store is that they have little cards that talk about a particular item and the background. Which I love that, because I can know about the origins about a certain item and what it is used for. It is very helpful to have those cards! Also their website is fabulous and probably one of the best small business website I had stumbled upon. They always update the website when new items come in or when they are sold out. So if you wanna see what they have before you come into the store, check out their website. I love this place! read more

Been coming here for years and years. Take all my visitors to the area here. It's a great little store packed with fun items nautical and otherwise. read more

I used to love this store but over the past few years with the new owner the quality and variety of merchandise has greatly diminished. It's really sad because it was always one of the gems of the area. After Globe Imports closed I had trouble finding just the right gift for people until I discovered this shop but now I can't find much there that is truly unique. read more

Great place to pick up little gifts and treasures - lots of locally made products, too.

I watch the employees there chase off a wonderful musician who is performing outside their place with a smile on his face brightening up the days of all the people passing by for a place that claims to support local artists seems like they don't care much for him musicians read more

Very nice people. Looking for tourist stuff -- they got it! Looking for little quirky gift -- they got it! Need something unique in the finer gift range -- they got it! Just want to stroll around and talk when the rest of the shops close and the sidewalks are rolled up, Many Hands crew is still there with their light on! read more
